THE GIG IS UP, CANADA. YOU WILL NEVER EVER OPPRESS US AGAIN

MNN, June 28, 2007. Our Indigenous eyes are wide open. That's whatJune 29th is about. We know the reality and the legality, in your lawand in ours. We are breaking the chains of colonialism for good. Youcan never put them back on us. You never had the moral high road,including the 401, the old number 2 and the CN. These enterprises andyourselves are all trespassing on our land.

On June 29th the Indigenous people of Canada are going to be a modelfor all of us all over the world. We will act with dignity, confidenceand the assurance that everything we are doing is right. In the end,the world will see that the Indigenous people everywhere are releasingourselves from the shackles of hundreds of years of colonial bondage.

We are standing tall and strong knowing that a great responsibilityhas been placed upon us to protect our Mother Earth that we have beencreated to cherish. Our actions are for the benefit of the entirehuman race. We know our responsibility. We have many friendseverywhere who understand why we are doing what we are doing.

As for you, the colonial oppressor class, you're trapped in thecrumbling concrete world that you created. Your overpasses, yourhighways, your hydro and nuclear projects are all temporary blights onour land. They're falling apart. The corruption, malfeasance andneglect that are inherent to your way of doing things are nowmanifesting themselves. Your atrocities against us and other humanshave to stop. We are reclaiming our lives and everything that is ours.Tell your Queen that the Australian model of placing Aborigines undermartial law is not going to fly here.

Oppressor class, you have to deal with us as a free people, as therightful owners of the unsurrendered jurisdictions.

Phil Fontaine, go ahead and identify yourself with the Canadianoppressor class. We are not. We never agreed to be Canadians orBritish subjects. We never agreed to be forced to live on "reserves"when all of it is ours. We never agreed to the Indian Act or to anylaw the colonists brought here from Britain or France.

Everything is clear to us, that includes our right to the land thatyou call "title". You have to treat us with respect for your ownsurvival. You know now that your way doesn't last. We've been here for100,000 years. We created a perfect reality which you almost destroyedin a matter of 140 years. We will not listen to you except when youask us how you are going to make amends.

When you arrived, this land was a paradise which we created. You cameas naked robber barons and immediately went into a world of graspingand greed for our possessions. You hacked down our forests, our nuttrees, our strawberry fields. You said you wanted to make a place tolive and to create a haven for yourselves. You polluted the land, therivers and the air so no one can live here, not even you. Your problemwas and still is that we, the original people were created as part ofthis world we call Onowarakeh/Turtle Island. We refuse to relinquishour duties to our mother. So you treated us with the most disgustingdepravity ever created against other human beings.

Now you are having to face those of us who survived your genocidalplans. We are putting a mirror up to your faces? Look at yourselves,if you can! We hope you won't get frightened. It certainly is a scarysite. We see fear and loathing behind your masks.

The oppressor class have become fearful because they know they willhave to face up to their actions. They're afraid to live equally witheveryone else. They don't know how to share. Offering us $250 millionfor ten years for our land will mostly go to your buddy lawyers,negotiators and ad agencies to spin the whole deal. A few bucks toyour chosen "Indians" just doesn't cut it either. We can see throughyour setup judges making decisions on your claims to our land. Howscrewed up can you be?

Are we revealing the nature of the beast and it is you? You can nolonger hide behind that mask as the "peacemakers" of the world. Youare now committing atrocities to others elsewhere just like you did tous. Your mining and oil exploration companies are wreaking havoc amongindigenous people worldwide. We will resist your investment portfoliosbased on undermining us and theft of our possessions. We are going totry to stop you from benefiting from the proceeds of crime. Theactions of your ancestors and yourselves violate human rights andinternational law.

How did your constitution come to defame, defile and corrupt our Greatlaw, the greatest gift of democracy ever given to mankind?

Are Canadian citizens celebrating "Tax Freedom Day" by giving "only"50% of their labor to the gluttonous parasites who live off the stateand get paid big salaries for doing as they're told and not doinganything of worth for the people? We heard that in the feudal days thepeasants gave only a tenth of their earnings.

There was one quick communiqué from the Red-X, who stated from withinthe horrible conditions he is presently confined. Simply put, heuttered to MNN that "Subjugation shall flourish into liberation".

What is it that you're celebrating on Canada Day? Colonial gluttony?Think about this at that barbecue you're going to have on July 1st.You're eating the flesh of our brothers, the salmon. As you sink yourjaws into the bloody flesh of your cows, either sliced into steaks orground into hamburgers, are you celebrating the genocide of ourkindred buffalo whose spirit had been with us since eternity? Doesyour fantasy take flight as you chomp on the bones of the flightlessbirds you brought in after you massacred the many beautiful speciesthat were here? For those vegetarians eating potato salad and tomatoaspic, think about the Indigenous people who developed these foods.

Have the kind of `Day' you deserve as you watch your fireworks pollutethe city sky with yet more smog and smoke. Don't forget to watch the`schmaltzy Canadian culture" goings-in front of the Gothic limestoneedifices, build on an Algonquin meeting ground, to try to convinceyourselves that you've been here as long as the fossils. Ta-ta.

"Australia and NZ remained unrepentant for their brutal suppression of indigenous independence movements in the Pacific. They rationalized such behavior as enhancing the welfare of the Islands and the human development of their people – just as they justified similar behavior towards indigenous peoples in their own countries"
